Holy crap!! I've had an interesting last couple days. Sunday while trying to get some weekend cleaning done, I had a headache and some weird cramping. It felt like ovulation pain on just one side kinda pinchy... I checked my calendar and was on cycle day 37 (of usual 30-32), and since I was sick last week, not too unusual. I joked to hubby that I was probably pregnant since we only had sex once this cycle. Plus I have a Paraguard....Low and behold, two bold lines. I went yesterday to the Doc (who was mostly concerned about ectopic, but that was ruled out!) and he removed the IUD that had slipped down just far enough apparently to not work. He also said he didnt really see any sac or anything for how far I should be... (quick vaginal ultrasound)So now I sit and wait to see if this one sticks around (removing the IUD can cause the pregnancy to terminate). I go back tomorrow morning for another blood draw.This pic is from about 2 hours ago, lines are still strong positive

That is a sad thing to have happen, sorry you are having to go through that. I? feel like that happens a lot. I? had the copper and was getting pregnant and then my IUD would terminate-I? felt it was a type of abortion which angered me. It should prevent not allow egg to even fertilize. I? removed my own and will never have one again. Keep us posted on what happens.
